The Lord of the Rings is a novel following the adventures of a hobbit named Frodo and his eight companions. Their quest was to help defeat the rising Dark Lord, Sauron. The novel was first published by the George Allen & Unwin Ltd. publishing service in 1954-55, in three-book form to make it easier on readers: The Fellowship of the Ring (29 July, 1954), The Two Towers (11 November, 1954), and The Return of the King (20 October, 1955). In all truth there were actually six books, two in each of our three books. Their original names were planned by Tolkien, but unused until the boxed-set Millennium Edition, printed in 1999.

The Lord of the Rings is the story following The Hobbit, the first of the stories involving Arda or Middle-earth.

Some PPC agents are native to Middle-earth. This often means they were created as a character for a LotR fanfic, but their author at some point decided they were better used as an agent protecting the canon than as a character possibly disrupting it. Many of these agents are Elves, often Noldorin.

Agents are considered specialised in a continuum when they have handled at least three missions in the canon. Most of these agents are also active/specialised in other continua. It is often not the agents who decide where their specialty lies, but the Flowers that keep assigning missions to them.

Note: There will eventually be two versions of this mission. The above is the April Fool's Day version. It's listed because it's technically a mission—they gather charges and kill the Sue. It just happens to be a crazy, AU version of the official mission.
